(shots being fired) since 2004 san francisco has experienced a an unprecedented number of homicides. (siren sounding). 60% of the homicide victims are people of color. their loved ones, living in neighborhoods of scarcity and

neglect must deal with their personal tragedies while at the same time facing the crime and violence of the unsafe neighborhoods that surround them every day. >> president chiu: thank you very much. thank you very muchaúnm. >> good afternoon, supervisors. stop the corporate rape of our public library, don't money to what is this really about. the theme that we've heard over do we live under a series of laws that applysrqy÷ equally. i hope you're asking yourself while official misconduct

charges were pending, but after commission president:6wlb jewelz remains in office with no response from the4ju after one year whatsoever. the answer of course is that it's not equal treatment.e÷ it's not official misconduct if you're a part of the mayor's gang,&e sx but it is official misconduct if it's a political mayor's benefit.fkd% ms. gomez's actions were clearly violations of the law.;jw/ jewel gomez's actions took place joule gomez was acting as chair of the meetingó. jewel gomez's actions were excused as private philanthropyz getting its money's worth. despite the formal transmission byf7/m the fair -- to the mayory

the ethics commission the mayor response or justification of any got for official misconduct. standards of our society are for sale to privateéym> president chiu: thank you. next speaker.

>> hello. hello. my name is eartha mcguire. first of all, just listening to this testimony, the mayor's representative is trying to prove how -- violate the official duties. i find it hard to believe. and so we -- i volunteer for many organizations who do all this compassionate work. and ross is the jewel in the crown. i found it very easy to believe the woman who said that ross would appear in his pajamas and

overcoat when there was trouble. that, time and time again, how ross always tried to assist a person who was in any kind of trouble. so i think ross is the jewel in the crowna é,ñ of san francisco. and we should reinstate the jewel. you. next0#v%w speaker. sellig. i hope the board of supervisors3 do not slip down the slippery slope9szç of corporate fascism.

mirkarimi. >> my name is maurice james, i'm executive8)2[x director and four of -- west which is a community san francisco. throughout the years, ross was a supervisor, he worked veryúó#ú diligently with my population, people. looked at them, followed the newspaper, elephant gun to kill an ant. i think that it's too much. i think what he and his family have suffered is enough. irresponsible of you to take his job from him. hope that you reinstate ross to his job. thank you. >> supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker. goo>> good afternoon. i am in district 6. my wonderful supervisor kim,

she's the supervisor of my district. i've known ross for like 20 years, 15, 20 years, ross, i guess. and my feelings about the whole thing is supervisor, you have to realize -- well maybe i did vote sheriff and i think if anything should happen to the man it should come back to me to decide. don't do their dirty work for them. don't do it. don't fall for the dirty tricks they're going on to make you all look bad, especially the ones that's up for reelection, and maybe of course you can't run anymore, sir. so of course the ones that's up for reelection, you have to realize how did all these agencies get these billboards up, who's funneling money where, if we want to look at the whole thing. but i'm not against -- the domestic violence thing, it's very good. but something is going on in the

city, and we do need a outsider in the sheriff's office, a outsider, because they're waiting -- the other officers, the sheriff officers, i'm quite sure are waiting in line, wondering oh, good we get somebody in there that's part of us.ici and ross is an outsider even though he was on the board of supervisors and d.a.'s office but i think he would keep the progressive stance -- (no audio h

>> while -- brown was in office, as he did,xes5ñ mayor gavin newm in office, he unfortunately had a problem with>ñss substance ab. and not only that, he committedp fraud by authorizing the assignment of catastrophic il34#÷áñ for his mistress. i have never known ross also, we have certain employees, there's a fire chief who beat child support. now, i have never known ross, in the twéw that he has been a father and husband, to ever beuh negligent of his duties as a husband, a provider, and a loving father. so please take? account. if you're going to take him as an example, then do the same wi-)xferybody else. thank you. >> president chiu: thank youcé1. next speaker. hw.,mz patrick.on, supervisors.

i trust that you got my letter that i sent#ç$1v you yesterday. the ethics commission did not find thatiyvñ mr. mirkarimi committed any misconduct while he was actually%#ap sheriff. the legal analysis that iiú4ú forwarded to you indicates one may fairly question whether the relationship test4q;z ms. keyser went into, adequately apprised is prohibited under san francisco's][e&- official misconduct law. at least if the official has limited experience playing the six degrees of kevin bacon does the mayor say any and all misconduct will result in someone being put on probation, even purely personal conduct

totally unrelated to the performance of any of the official's actual duties? if so are ethics commissioners studley and han saying anything different from what commissioner rene said. is their new relationship requirements so diluted that it amounts to no requirements at all, exactly what mr. rene suggested. and if that is correct, does it not follow that all four commissioners are interpreting san francisco's official misconduct statute in a way that leaves it completely unconstitutionally vague. by making up rules of misconduct proceedings against ross as they went along, the ethics commission appears to have vield the city charter themselves by chersing an authority not;%.f-3 granted by the charter. they do not have my authority to take away my vote.

reinstate -state wúw wj4(p&c"p% >> president chiu: thank you very much. next speaker. >> thank you. my name is author murillo. good afternoon, mr. president and honorable members of the board of supervisors. what i would like to do is offer a lens through which to view this situation. you've heard from many citizens that there's been unequal why is that? is this political? perhaps )]'s another reason. as someone who studied they have on people of color, and how they'ref9s0w viewed, it that there's a relationship betweentjfxx stereotypes, preju, and discrimination. stereotypes is the firste;fáw s. so we have a gentleman here that is being perceived asvhfvg very violent, when in fact he is not.

but yet the4#3( stereotype pers. he's also male. we have a fire chief yet she's a woman and she was not a person of color, so we view3"q+ her behavior differen. if we go forward with that, then dás6! we go with having these opinions differently about the people whichz-mfwe've seen here, opinions differe towards wife. we go forward to discrimination now, which is what we're -- it's discrimination, a act to deprive a citizen+7x-ñ from public servs or benefits. we have an elected official tha the mayor has effectively shownñ discrimination against, and he wants you, as the board, tottrax

follow that, and to remove him from office and deny him theók rights. attorneys -- >> [timer sounding.] >> president chiu: thank you. next speaker. again, ladies and gentlemen, i needácq0v to remind everyone ofe board rule in our chamber against statements of opposition or-4-h@ñ applause for speakers. thank you very much. next speaker. >> good afternoon,6ftár"ent chiu and supervisors. my name is rudy. san francisco, a resident, and also i'm a registered voter. there's one thing that's called integrity, to do the right thing, when nobody is watching. i want to demonstrate though, through his actions, that ross mirkarimi, with my own eyes, i seen him come through to neighborhoods, where people would not dare to come at night, when people got killed.

he was there, because he cared. his integrity and his heart was there. now -- to say this is that once upon a time, he sat at the same table that you guys sat at, and now he has made a mistake. and it seems like the city has for got about him. after all the work that he's the community, it seems like there's a lack of understanding when it comes to justice that he has fought for, for many many years, for the people. i don't think nobody should make a decision, not the mayor, nor should be the ethics commission, not even you guys should decide whether he should be sheriff or pnñyz i believe that decision goes to the people. the people are the ones who should always decide who should be in what position. and i understand there's some xq' for this to hapn

your hands. i just hope that we don't havec@ to prolong the decision for ross to become the sheriff that he's supposed to be. and7khu you don't wait until afr election day to make a decision, that it's determined andld said now. and i just want to say in his actions how much he loves san francisco. and i'm sure the$bañ people -- without making no noise, raise your hand and show if you he has([( love that ross has loe and the people --ry.ñ san franc, the city of san francisco -- >> president chiu: thank you very much. thank you verya,ú much. thank you very much.kk8(p&c @g to the crowd. we have this thing called the7vt silent hand wave which we've used in other debates. if folks want to express support

mayor even though he paid his debt to society? if a mistake is made, do we0s(t? have we resorted to people who .z a mistake to wear a scarlet do we continue to condemn president nix/tí nixon and mayor newsom. i have faith in you that you will do the right thing. please reinstate the?%soñ sheri. bless you. >> president chiu: thank you. next speakersñ. >> hi. my name is nancy, i'm from the mission. iphone. somebody called ross a jewel. ross is a jewel. i mean he's been in ourgu%á livn san francisco, i know -- i've been here almost 10 years. okay. he's a38"@ç leader. he's a leader in the community. okay. and i think thath9[b÷ the mayors abused his power.
